Cheers for Cheerios without GMOs: #tellusatoday

We asked our followers on Twitter what they thought of General Mills dropping ingredients with genetically modified organisms (GMOs) from original Cheerios. Comments are edited for clarity and grammar:

I think the change is great! Hopefully more companies follow suit.

It really never mattered to me. I do eat Cheerios.

— @EugeneHirsch

General Mills' decision shows how powerful consumer demand is, and how much it has changed recently toward healthier choices.

— @dnannis

The move is a ridiculous appeasement of people who don't understand biology.

— @adamcarte

This news makes me incredibly happy and optimistic! I hope other "giant food corporations" follow suit!

— @AndTruthishly

Foods with GMOs should be labeled where everyone can easily see them.

— @photoallan

Dropping GMOs is a way to appease the folks who apparently believe all scientists are Frankensteins.

— @VictoriaTaft

How about drop ingredients with GMOs from all foods.
